In a recent @0xSteadyLads podcast, Vitalik shared his thoughts on what he’d do if starting Ethereum today. Among his reflections, he gave a special mention to @MinaProtocol , calling it a "simple, beautiful L1" that is making zero-knowledge (ZK) technology more accessible and

http is the standard protocol for data exchange on the web. https added security using encryption and a trusted authority. httpz introduces assurance, allowing users to verify the integrity of the data they’re interacting with using zero knowledge proofs and the Mina network.

Interest is definitely growing in ZK-Snarks; Mina Protocol's zkApps is probably the most programmable platform for developing zk-snark based proofs. @MinaProtocol @MinaFoundation #zeroknowledge

Ever wondered how specifically ZK-SNARKs are used to preserve privacy, including some of the non-obvious tricks like how to prevent double-spending, and what the limits of ZK-SNARKs are? This post tries to explain some of these ideas: vitalik.ca/general/2022/0…

I love this! Yet another example of @o1labs_ and @MinaProtocol affinity with EVM since there's a bunch of Groth16 primitives out there from earlier pioneers in the Ethereum zk world.
